4 LOOUACIO0S DIPLOMATISE

Mr.. Chamberlain lacks the temper of n d.
plomatist. He makes no effort TO concIliatc
either American or Canadian sentiment and
excites prejudice by his irritabillty and wanlun
aggressivencss. When he was appointed Chlcl
| Fisheries Commissioner for Great Britain the
| American press referred to him respectfully
and with diSccrnmcnt as n statesman Of cXccp-
tional ability who would prove n keen adycr-
sary. His hostility to Home kule in Ireland
was not considered on this side Of the Atlantic
as interfering in the slightest degree with his
usefulness as q Commissioner. The fisheries
complications have nothing to do with any
phase Of the Irish question, and 1T IS wholly
unnecessary for British Commissioners to have
bis credentials cOuntcrsigned by MIR. Parncll.
The American people by an overwhelming
majority arc in sympathy with Mr.. Gladstone
policy, but they have not been unwilling TO
receive Mr.. Chamberlain as the Olllclal repre-
sentative Of the British Government without
reference to his views respecting Home Rule.
II is Mr.. Chamberlain himself who is I'M
perilling the chances Of satisfactory issue Of
the negotiations by his ill-adyscd and irritable
speeches in England. His defiant uttcrances
rospccting the hostility Of Irish Americans arc
in tho worst possible taste and so indlsuect
as TO be ruinous to his reputation as diplo-
matist. IIo processes TO be anxious to effect
an amicablc and honorable settlement OF the
questions at issue between tho two countries.
Let him commune with his own heart and be
still. Noisy defamation and fierce onslaughts
upon tho Americana Irish Will only rctard and
obstruct the negotiation Of a new treaty.
Equally injudicious have been Mr.. Chamber
lains comments upon Commercial Union be-
tween tho Dominion and the United States.
His speeches in Ulster excited great wrath in
Canada, where this policy has been earnestly
advocated by both political parties. lie has
denounced IL in advance as the first step toward
political separation from tho mother State,
thereby bringing about his head storm OF
criticism and rago throughout tho Dominion.
Instead Of being welcomed by tho press OF
Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa as a champion
Of Canadian interests, he is facctiously styled
Jonah, who should be flung overheard by the
British Government without delay. What
course docs Mr. Chamberlain take in this emer-
gcncy? lie furnishes at isingtOn an acrid
commentary upon the text OF his Ulster speeches
which will tend to ALLEVIATE the Canadians still
further. His explanations mako the original
offence still moro serious and hopelcssly i'm
pair his usefulness as Commissioner. He

be noted that the dissemination Of panic fear
In crowd Is Influenced by the average Of ntell1-
rence In that crowd that when this average Is
low the contagion is most active; and that as the
standard is raised the tendency to succumb to
unrcasoning terror becomes less marked.
There can be no doubt that the average Of
intelligence in an American theatre audience is
relatively high. Such audience is largely
composed Of men and women accustomed TO think
for themselves. As a rule they know all about
the opportunities for escape in the event Of fire.
and therefore they are fortified to a great extent
against those blind panic rushes which so often
have produced great catastrophes. No doubt the
fact that in the four recent cases the alarm was
false had much to do with the quick quoting
down Of the disturbed audiences 1t may very
well be that in an actual fire less GOODNESS would
be manifested and that there would he some
crowdlng and Struggling And there can be no
doubt that theatre managers would be criminally
careless If they relied upon the superior calmness
and rcasonableness OF American audiences to make
up for deficiencies in the means Of exit. Some Of
our theatres empty very slowly still; so slowly
that it is impossible while getting out of them
after performance not ask ones Self what would
happen if the stage were In flames behind the
blocked In occupants OF the orchestra seats.
Since too it seems impossible to prevent fools
and h, stcrica women from shreldng fire. " at the
slightest provocatOn. and since il is not safe TO
count upon every audience being equally superior

left for accident, and every theatre should be so
arranged that It could be emptied in five minutes

"UHOSE IMAGE And SUPf RNCRIPTION' y
"Thc Brooklyn Eagle refers to Mr.. Chaplin
as tho "duplicatc in Democracy Of what seth
Low was in Rcpubicansm.' II one be as
bright penny as the other. there - a difference
in tho metal and the image and supcrScuptlon
which it bears. \ duplicate in Democracy OF
" hat the model Mayor Of Brooklyn was IN Re
publicansm could not be anything but base
counterfeit, since Democracy there has always
been partisan in municipal affairs and Re
pubicanSm in recent years has been nom
PARTISAN One coin lacks the honest rinS OF
the other and bears the imprint OF Boss
name and face. When Mr.. Low was elected
and reelected Mayor he was absolutely lndc-
pendent Of political managers and wirc-pulcrs.
llC was not under obligations to any clique Of
politicians. He was his own master. No
boss stood behind him. Whose image and
supcrscription does the nomination OF Mr.
Chapin bear? Hugh McIaughlns. as the
following extract from "Thc Eagle" quoted by
MIR. Low in his admirable speech at the Acad-
envy, attcsts:
II is absolutely certain that either Chaplin or Whit
p,c, q, Ouintard or any ono el-o DO nominated
without difficulty. Matters are SO DEITY arranged
that tho naming OF the man. or Of any man born OF
woman depends entirely on ono person, and It t.
az absolutely certain that tho convention Will present
such name Il requested. It Is TINT the iormallty
Of a convention will DO Como through with at all.
There arc therefore difficulties In tho way OF Sc
lectlng a candidate or any candidate
This is plain statement Of facts which are
notorious One man nominated Alfred &.
Chaplin for Mayor Of Brooklyn. That one
man could have rcnomnatcd Mayor Whitney
as easily, or even at the last moment have
trottcd out some dark horse from his private
political stable. The convention simply regis
tered the Boss's will, and so certain was he
that the machinery would act without friction
and with precision that steam was not turned on
until tho day before the delegates met. They
voted for his man, and they would have Sc
lcctcd any other candidate OF his choice with
equal submissivcncss and alacrty. Mr.. Chapin's
nomination is one of the products Of Boss-rulc.
Therein it differs so radically from either Mr..
Lows or Colonel Baird's nomination for tho
samc Office that 1t ceases to be duplicate Of
anything except Ring governed partisan De-
mOcracy

LOOK TO THE SENATE.

II is pretty well understood that the Demo-
Gratis under the skiIrl leadership of Governor
Hill are intent first of all on capturing the
Senate So great is their desire to elect the
majority of that body that shrcwd politicians
believe that they stand ready to sacrifice the
Democratic State ticket for votes for Demo
cratic nominees for the Senate. They are not
trying to accomplish this purpose by means OF
an open canvass. They have organized hunt
in which no brass bands figure. They arc
working mighty hard for the Senate, but they
are keeping mighty quiet.
The present Senate stands, Republicans 20,
Democrats II. 1t may be that, IN view OF
these figures, our friends in somo of the dis
trcts are giving little or no attention to the
legislative ticket, believing that the Democrats
have not the ghost Of chance OF carrying
either the Senate or the Assembly. The Dem
ociatS are doubtless counting upon the apathy
which sense Of security sometimes cngcndcrs.
Forcwarncd is forcarmcd. True, the chances
are that the Republicans VIII hold the districts
in which they now have majority and gain
several more But let nothing be taken for
